I bought some strawberry seeds, but have never seen a small seedling of two or three leaves, I would like to know how it looks like or anyone post a clear photo of it, so I'll be sure if they sold me the real thing...

I keep all my egg shells - dry them out in the oven and then crush and scatter them around the plants. (all plants) to keep the snails at bay. This Summer I forgot to do this and the snail invasion was horrendous! I don't know of any plants that would acheive this. Good luck!
